Meanwhile, surefire Rookie of the Year winner Brett Cecil looks to put the finishing touches on his magical season with a CG to give the Jays their 3rd WS title.

Overbay was lifted for pinch runner BUCK FUCKING COATS in the top of the ninth.

The late October weather deemed Coats necessary. He scored from first on Aaron Cibia's double to the left field alley.

I assume Millar came in for Overbay on a double switch because the last game of the series was on the road, right?

We love us a little Rolen, too.

In fact, if we put our ear up to our handy desktop conch shell, we can hear a Joe Buck play-by-play call now...

"Rolen fields it...across the diamond to Millar...The Toronto Blue Jays are WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!"

(And in case you think we've lost our mind: We're a little hung over and sleep deprived...so yeah, a little bit.)

"Leave my Rolen alone."

yes. perfect, just a fucking perfect sentence.

Scott Rolen is going to smash 15 HR and 40 doubles this season to go along with routinely making the opposition cry by stealing hit after hit at the hot corner.

PENNANT!

Nice style there, J

Rolen is a douchebag who thanks heaven every day because he's playing in Toronto so he can get away with ripping the team off without getting vilified by the fans

1. JP didn't sign him to any contract, he signed an extention with the Cards in 2002.

2. He IS worth 8 million more per season than Bautista, almost based on defense alone.

3. If this team could dump salaries, they would simply pocket the difference. Either that or they'd decide not to pay their closer $10 million per year.

4. Watching someone awesome is much more fun than watching a shitbag like Bautista. Or watching Rogers "write down assets" in a ballpark full of cheap ads.

2009-02-20T10:32:00.000-05:00

You're an idiot

Rolen is never going to be worth the contract that JP signd him to, because he's never going to properly recover from his injury

sure he's a better player than Bautista, but he's not worth 8+ million more per season

if the team could choose who to dump, they should dump Rolen

2009-02-20T08:31:00.000-05:00

If only he got more dirt on his jersey... then people would be willing to pay him A-Rod money!

2009-02-20T04:33:00.000-05:00

Rolen is my favorite (non-Doc) Jay, but I still don't think giving the ReedRush to Bautista makes sense UNLESS there's a way to turn that money into Alou or some such.

Millar?

Fuck him. Bautista is 10 years younger and has that tasty LH split.

If we need the $2 mil fine, if not, keep him around.

I don't think that has anything to do with loving rolen which I unabashedly do!

2009-02-20T01:41:00.000-05:00

Why? Because that person is an idiot.

Sometimes, it is just that simple.

I heart Rolen. He's going to be huge this year.

We're winning the pennant.

Oh, and fuck off Lloyd.

2009-02-19T19:12:00.000-05:00

Fangraphs doesn't like Rolen's defense as much as Dewan (+/-) does.

As good as he was last year, I expect Rolen to improve defensively after a full spring training and a year on the Fieldturf.

2009-02-19T18:59:00.000-05:00

Fangraphs also had Overbay worth only $7.7M of the $6.8M he was paid last year.

2009-02-19T18:30:00.000-05:00

Thank you.

And man, that is a great picture. You just know that right after he snagged that ball he quickly stood up and threw and absolute rope to first that hit Overbay in the chest. Beautiful.
